We look at why applying a topical skincare product will not necessarily work its magic. Healthy skin starts from the inside out.

Our optimistic promises of podcasting more seem to fade over the year as we get busy with markets, bees, gardens, life, etc, etc......

But we're here again to recap 2024, the year's highs and lows, and the loss of most of our bees this fall.

The website is cloverhoneypot.com which is where you can find things we were chatting about today

In this episode, we discuss what we've been up to this year. We give an update on the bees and the plan for this year with them.

Also, we announce our exciting Farmers Market project coming up next month we are organizing and here is the website link as Karen promised https://mbhomesteadingshow.com

Today we chat about the anti-inflammatory properties of propolis and honey, why we add them, and why they are key to optimal skin health. We also compare the differences between propolis collected manually from our hives, and commercially sold propolis that undergoes solvent extraction processes, and why direct from the hive matters.

We chat about the end of the market season, funky weather and how it affects the bees, Karen's ride in an ambulance and much more......

After another seemingly long hiatus, we're back with a fall update on us, bees, markets, life, etc, etc

In this episode, we share our exciting news about opening up the bee hives for the first time since October 2022 and also about colony collapse and varroa mite infestations affecting honey bee health
